What do you do - do you put their keys in Faraday cages inside the house? Is there a "safe" distance? I thought to be honest the keys were far enough away.

Any recommendations for a nice looking cage?
If they had a key signal booster, they would have just stolen the car no? I can't foresee anyone walking around with that equipment just to steal sunglasses or other trinkets from a parked car. If you have that kit, its going to be to steal the cars surely?

My neighbour's RR sport was stolen via keyless replication so not convinced on how well this works.
